tomhalv Posted June 1, 2014 #1 Share Posted June 1, 2014 My wife and I both just reached Platinum level after our last cruise. Are we both entitled to a free dinner for 2 in Le Bistro and a bottle of wine on each Latitude number? In other words, do we get two dinners on two different nights?

The sparkling wine is one bottle per stateroom. Assuming you guys stay in the same room, you will receive one bottle only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMLady Posted June 1, 2014 #3 Share Posted June 1, 2014 My husband and I are both platinum on NCL and each got that perk on our latest cruises. Triptolemus is correct. You will each get a voucher for a dinner for two including one bottle of wine that you select from a list at each dinner. So you will be able to have a free dinner twice in Le Bistro or in whatever other restaurant is also mentioned on the voucher. We used ours only in Le Bistro. You will also get one bottle of sparkling wine per cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swedish weave Posted June 1, 2014 #4 Share Posted June 1, 2014 (edited) It hasn't been mentioned, but you can also take the bottle of sparkling wine from your cabin and have it in any of the dining venues without paying the corkage penalty.

welove2cruise* Posted June 1, 2014 #6 Share Posted June 1, 2014 I usually stock up on some orange juice to make mimosas with the sparkling wine on the last day of the cruise. Does anyone know if you can exchange the sparkling for a Chardonnay? I know with an agency incentive bottle they let you switch but I had never tried it with the Platinum bottle.

tomhalv Posted June 1, 2014 Author #7 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Well, that should make three free dinners for us now since we're also getting a free dinner & wine for the investor perk. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

triptolemus Posted June 2, 2014 #11 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Yeah, that's all I knew about, too. Maybe they're going to spend the investor perk on the dinner and wine... :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love my butler Posted June 2, 2014 #12 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Does anyone know if you can exchange the sparkling for a Chardonnay? Completely depends on the ship and who you talk to on the ship. Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newmexicoNita Posted June 2, 2014 #15 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Which perk is this? Can you share more info? I think he is saying he owns 100 or more shares of stock. If so, he gets either a dinner and bottle of wine in Cagney's or a $100 OBC. The OBC has to be requested at least 2 weeks prior to sailing and will only be applied if the investor isn't getting any other OBCs given by promos. For us, it is the dinner and wine, which is about the same as $100OBC if you think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get declined for the OBC, they will usually offer a dinner for 2 at Cagney's and a bottle of wine as a thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4774Papa Posted June 2, 2014 #17 Share Posted June 2, 2014 We have two cruises on the Star this Sep/Oct B2B. We should rise to Platinum after the first cruise. Will NCL recognize us that quickly for the second cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will NCL recognize us that quickly for the second cruise? yes, my husband reached the platinum level about 2 cruises ago. When he went to purchase our future cruise certificate the rep mentioned: I see you are now platinum. Of course he didn't get perks then, but would have as soon as he had finished that cruise, even if he was cruising again in a week or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you (and the other poster as well!) for clarifying. I've never been offered an alternate perk despite not being able to combine the investor OBC. This sounds like something to follow-up on!

Love my butler Posted June 2, 2014 #24 Share Posted June 2, 2014 (edited) Absolutely does not depend on who you talk to: how you exchange it does, but it can be exchanged on any of the ships.....!!!!!!!! You are so wrong. Have been on many cruises and spoke to many F&B managers as well as hotel directors. It DOES depend on who you speak to. So many things on a ship depend on who you talk to. Ask five different crew members about anything and you are likely to get five different answers. I know this from dozens of cruises on NCL. You know, first hand experience.

Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app We just call, if we don't get an email answer to our request for $100 OBC. They tell us right away we will get dinner and wine, if we are not eligible for credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
